Second, family stress especially economic stress and relational stress influenced negatively on adjustment of single parent family. Family belief system, organizational pattern and communication processes of the three sub-factors of family resilience influenced positively on family adjustment. However the sub-factors of family resilience had more powerful effects than family stress. Third, family belief system, organizational pattern and communication processes of the three sub-factors of family resilience had a moderating effect between family adjustment and psychological stress and between family adjustment and relational stress. Especially the three sub-factors of family resilience had a buffering effect between family adjustment and relational stress. The results of this study had important implication for theory, research, and practice. The study showed that adjustment of single parent family could be significantly explained by family resilience rather than family stress. Accordingly strength perspective-based intervention focused on family resilience would be more effective than deficit perspective-based intervention based on family stress.

This study analyzed the differences in adjustment and family environments of adolescents from three different family structures, using the KCYPS panel 4th wave data from first graders in middle schools. The participants of the study consisted of 1,715 adolescents in two-parent families, 79 adolescents in single-father families, and 113 adolescents in single-mother families. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and ANCOVAs. The findings of this study indicated that adolescents in two-parent families showed a lower level of physical symptoms than those in single-mother families and a lower level of participation in classwork than those in single-father families whereas adolescents in single-father families were more likely to be involved in delinquency than those from the other two family structures. In addition, significant differences were found in family environments including parents' physical health and life satisfaction, family economic status, parenting behaviors, and parents' absence at home after school. Parents in single-mother and single-father families were less healthy physically, showed lower levels of life satisfaction, reported less income, and spent less money for their children, compared to those in two-parent families. With regard to parenting behaviors, single fathers tended to be less warm toward and neglected their children more than single mothers and parents in two-parent families. Adolescents in single-father families were most likely to be left alone at home after school, followed by those in single-mother and two-parent families. The results suggested that specific attention needs to be paid to adolescents from single-father families in order to support their adjustment.

단독주택은 전통적인 인간의 주택 유형이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이들 단독주택에 대한 관심이 적어 연구가 부족한 편에 속한다. 본 연구는 서울시에 소재하는 단독주택을 대상으로 분위회귀분석을 적용하여 가격형성요인을 분석하였다. 통상최소자승법의 경우 종속변수와 독립변수의 평균적인 관계를 파악하기 때문에 단독주택처럼 고가 주택과 저가 주택의 차이가 큰 경우에는 한계가 존재할 수 있다. 서울시 단독주택에 대한 분위회귀분석 결과 통상최소자승법의 유의미한 변수와 대체로 유사하였으며, 건폐율, 용도지역, 소재 지역, 경과연수, 지하층 유무, 고저, 형상이 도출되었다. 그러나 건폐율, 고저의 경우 저가 주택에서, 중가의 주택에서는 지하층 유무가, 고가 주택에서는 소재지역이 더욱 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 아울러 접근성은 단독주택에 유의미한 변수가 아니지만, 고가주택은 오히려 버스정류장과 멀어질수록 가격이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 강남지역에 대한 분석결과 건폐율과 접근성은 저가의 주택에 중요한 요인으로 작용한 반면, 고가의 주택에서는 녹지지역일수록 그리고 대중교통수단과 먼 지역일수록 가격이 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 강북지역에서 건폐율 중요도는 모든 분위에서 일정하였으며, 용도지역이 강남지역보다 단독주택의 가겨에 영향을 많이 주지만, 상위 30% 주택에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 아울러 강북지역에서는 지하층 유무가 음의 영향을 주는 변수로 도출되었다. 그리고 경과연수의 경우 중 고가의 단독주택에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 서울시 및 강남 그리고 강북지역의 분석에서도 접근성 요인은 단독주택에 큰 영향을 주지 못하였다.
